GXP 5 Chapter 3


Start of episode 8


------------------
  3 "Joint exercise trip"

day 102.

Two months after Miki's incident, Seina's second Bio-Enhancement adjustment training was finally over, and Seina had a peaceful day without any major incidents. Life at Amane's house had gained order and stability, although there was a strange tension and some twists and turns.

gyokuren agreed not to harass seina, incidents of Airi coming over had declined, there were less random parental and other unwanted guests visiting and NB hadn't been acting strange either.
 
 On that evening, Seina was  in the living room watching a travel brochure displayed by NB.
"What are you watching?" Amane and Kiriko, and Erma asked
"a pamphlet for space activities"
"By the way Seina, your practical training up in space is tomorrow."

in the past the outfit amane was wearing that evening which showed quite a lot of cleavage would have caused a fight between kiriko and amane but they had grown accustomed to each other at this point.

"You're ready, aren't you?"
"Well, yeah, I only need to take NB with me right?."
"Right."
"Wow kiriko I'm suprised your so cool with seina going into outer space again."
"Oh, well there is no need to worry - It's an uninhabited area of space with no record of pirate activity and Amane will be with him."
"My encounter rate is zero."
"with the way your dressed, it looks like your encounter rate is way more then zero."
gyokuren said to her self as she walked through the room into the kitchen.
"what did you say!" amane yelled
Karen quickly pulled gyokuren into the other room to quiet the situation.


"Well, anyways for the time being, i hear that they'll be having an escort ship following you just in case"
"Is it an escort ship or an Imperial ship?"
"I'm not sure I didn't get any details " Kiriko said

"However, it shouldn't matter training is always just very routine and boring."
the other girls nodded in agreement.
"training starts early tomorrow, so take a bath soon and go to sleep."
"ok."Seina grabbed NB and went back to his room.
----
 The next morning, Seina finished breakfast in a hurry and headed to the GP Academy with Kiriko.
Amane, had to leave two hours early because she was on staff.
 Kenneth and Rajau greeted seina, it had been a long time since they last saw seina, they headed to the ship and got in line.
"Oh! wow" kenneth said as the female students passed
the training was mixed gender but their classes weren't co-ed
 Kenneth clutched his fist in excitement over this.

Seina looked around, Most of the boys seemed to think the same thing as Kenneth And the girls students were also conscious of boys as well. However, Seina was distracted by the ship anchored in front of him
(oh wow it floats.)


---------
 The training ship was 400 meters in length and looked like skyscraper was lying down on it's side. Of course, Seina had seen ones like them several times in pictures but it was different seeing it in person.
"Attention everyone!"
a voice called out, the students aligned reflexively and saluted.
"Ah!"
the large screen floating above them displayed an image of Seiryo with an irate Amane behind him

"It's been a long time since he went missing, I'm surprised he's alive."
"Why didn't they fire him for being gone so long?"
"He probably get's special treatment because he is a Tennan."
"Wow Amane is so pretty, I wonder why she seems to be in a bad mood"
 Amane appeared to be desperately holding back the urge to hit Seiryo.

Seina looked nervous.
"What's wrong, Seina?"
 Kenneth looked at the bitter smile Seina.
"Seina, you have a lot of history with Professor Tennan don't you?"
"Ha ha, yeah but I've already undergone Bio-Enhancement and have had no problems with him since."
"If he's keeping a grudge he might keep a close eye on us ..."
"On the contrary, if he's paying attention he can't keep an eye on Seina, I think he might just get distracted and ignore us entirely."
"Right ... ... but if he does we can use seina as decoy"

"Hey, Seina we know you get see plenty of girls since you live with kiriko and amane, but today we have an opportunity here to see some our age."
"I understand, I'll cooperate as much as possible"
 Seina answered with a bitter smile. To be honest, Seina was also interested in female students of the same age.
 Seina breathed deeply and began to concentrate on the teachers' announcements.

---------
 At the same time the ship that was going to monitor them, "Natsuki", which belonged to Seto's 13th Fleet was anchored nearby.

In addition to having state-of-the-art information gathering sensors, this ship, which was used to collect information on enemy areas, had not only stealth functions, but also high mobility and fighting power to pass through the enemy traps, It was also a combat ship that was supposed to be a flagship of the fleet.
 On the bridge of the Natsuki was Minaho, Hakuren, and an elderly man named Takeshima, who was responsible for the ship.
"... I'm so excited to be assigned to monitor seina yamada. Utsutsumi's thirteenth fleet rarely gets orders to moves, so basically all my time at work is spent as free time .... I'm glad I finally have some orders. "
 When the information gathering ships of the sacred fleet are called to action, Seto's maidens get assigned as captains. Naturally, Hakuren had piloted ships like this in training many times. And in the past when Gyokuren was set to captain ............ Well, various disasters for the HR department had occurred.


The first grade students completed boarding the training ship
"Ah……!"
 Seina saw mikami kiriko and erma seeing him off on the upper deck floors of the spaceport.
"Kiriko-san came ...... Erma too"
he could see them wave and smile at him as the ship began to move.
"All salute!"
 seiryo called, all the students saluted.
---
Rajau saw Erma and waved wildly to her. "ERMA!" seiryo interrupted him.
"Thank you, now you will return to your room and wait there until instructed."

a lot of students ran off to their rooms, the ones who took their time were then chased around by Seiryo with a shock baton

"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"
 The students moved to the allocated rooms downstairs.

"Just when i was caught up in the moment, he had to go and ruin it. Seiryo is such a buzzkill."
 Rajau confirmed the room number and opened the door.
"I never expected him of all people to be our instructor for this ... I wonder if we can at least conference with people while were in here."
 When Kenneth entered the room, he immediately fell down on the bed and made a big sigh.

"............ This ship is still an old-style room"
"Since the training ship is composed of second-hand parts from actual ships, it'll be impossible for now"


NB chimed in
"Actually you were all given pamphlets with two ID tags that you can share and you can contact anyone who has one."
"who reads those?"
"i did" seina said
"if you like i can go around and scan for other's Tag ID's" nb told them
-----


 Kiriko kept saluting until the ship disappeared beyond the clouds.
"Please return home safely, Seina."
 Mikami was smilingly looking at Kiriko.
"Don't worry seina is in good hands."
"Yes ... ............ oh ... hey wait a second where did Airi-sama's go......"
 Kiriko looked around but Airi was gone.
"Ho ho. she tried to stow away on the training ship so i locked here in that trashcan behind me ..."


"Airi's biggest disadvantage is that her behavior pattern is easy to read, ho ho."
 a few Airi' s secretaries came from nearby as mikami laughed.
"We're sorry to have inconvenienced you."
they picked up the trash can roughly and went away.
  

--------
on the bridge Seiryo was Standing on a table looking around at as the bridge staff saluted him.
"Thank you. I am Tennan Seiryo and I have been appointed captain of this ship ! ... blah blah blah blah... " seiryo began rambling on to the crew
Amane was standing with a cranky look behind him.

(How did this idiot become captain!)
 The reason why was that other 50 teachers on board did not like the idea of being paired with Seiryo. They had all heard about how he treated seina and wanted nothing to do with him. But he was a Tennan and it wasn't possible to deny him a position on the ship. Actually, he should have been fired because of Amane sinking him to the bottom of a trench. He was gone for a few months without notice from work. But his family Of course, gave a generous donation to the academy and he apologized so they let him come back.

------------
 The operators grew tired of seiryo's long winded and boastful speech but perked up once it ended because it was amane's turn. they greeted her with applause. Seiryo's boasting spirit grew lively as soon as Seiryo's greetings ended and became Amane's turn. They clapped for her.
"I am Amane · Kaunaq I will be serving as deputy captain today. Thank you."
she introduced her self quickly and got off the platform.
"Deputy Captain, we came to welcome you"
 the operators threw bouquets of flowers at Amane's feet.
"Thank you, its pleasure to serve you as the " zero goddess "!"
"Oh, thanks."
amane caught a bouquet and took a seat specially decorated for her.


"Where is my seat? Huh? I don't boast about it ... but also have a low attack rate ..."
"Oh we know, so we made you special seat."
The operators pointed at a foldout chair. It was covered with red and white cloth and it was decorated with cheesy artificial flowers, although it still looked fancy. And there was a large banner on it that said ' captains seat.'"
"Huh! Oh splendid!"
seiryo went up to his chair proudly
"... ... I intended it to be a bit of a joke." the operator told amane
"Don't worry that idiots so stupid he wont even notice"Amane said coldly
Seiryo sat down in the captain's seat.
"Come on, were approaching the outer ring, let's get back to work."
 they began to connect with the outer ring and got ready to pass through.
    
------------


 The large container connected to the training ship was actually used as a small relay station. Most of the facilities installed in the container are related to the home delivery service, all the processes are automated, and in fact, the portion requiring human interaction is almost non-existent since even monitoring and maintenance were automated. However, due to the nature of the organization, the GP has much of it activities carried out in Space Pirates inhabited areas and other dangerous zones, and the possibility of encountering an emergency such as a machine breakdown is much larger than other trades because of it. For this reason, this facility was adjusted for manual training, most of the automation functions were removed and work had to be done by hand.
"... ... In other words, it is training in case of we need to take care of the automated systems in an emergency situation"
kenneth told seina.
 they were all in the dining hall when Seiryo came up on a large monitor.
" There's no time to waste Everyone get up and run to your workstations now!"

seina started moving but NB began moving in the opposite direction.

"Master i will be waiting in your room, do your best."
"Why aren't you coming with me?"
"You told me to go find ID tags... Do you need me? Will you not be ok alone?"
"Of course ill be fine .... but aren't you supposed to assist me, kiriko told me I should take you with me..."
"Hey seina, What are you doing come on... you don't need to bring NB with you for every single thing you know. " rajau said
"Is that so?"
"I'll contact you if anything happens" NB said as he floated off


---
  
 After that, Seina and others were doing training work.
 Seina 's work was to check the delivery destination of the package, and to press a mark that it has been confirmed with a stamp like a hammer. Packages that had been checked for content were flowing from top to bottom, one on top of another like a conveyor belt.
"I was expecting something harder"
"But is it easy and isn't it?"
  Rajau said while stamping the baggage.
"It's hard work for Kenneth."
 Kenneth, was distracted by a pretty instructor, she had on a wedding ring and was married, seina thought it was interesting that that custom was present in space. kenneth was stamping away without checking.
an error message came up.
"Oops!"
 
-----


 The bridge of the training ship was a tiered structure, with the captain's seat and the navigation operators on upper part the officials who were doing other work in the lower part.
at the bottom of it the former leaders of the Ryoko Balta fan club were busy working, they had recently escaped from their angry former followers.
"Oh ...... Alan. Did you see the student roster?"
"Oh yeah ...... Seina was on it ... ..."
"Do you think we'll be attacked by Space Pirates ..."
"Oh... well....  we do have the " zero goddess " on board together ... ...."
 Alan said, looking up at the top teir.
"...with Seiryo."

"All right, I guess we'll be okay then."Alan relaxed
"But a space pirate attack might be an opportunity for us."
"What do you mean, Alan?"
"If we can discover an idol Space Pirate to replace Ryoko, we can make a new fan club and those glorious days of being rich may come back to us again!"
"Oh, if we did that we would be free from our debt hell!"
"Let's do it !"
 Alan was absorbed in his fantasy of being able to pay off the debt they had incurred spending their money frivioulously. he was supposed to monitor the sensors for the ship and it was outputting abnormal readings.

-------




 Seina was working when Seiryo told everyone to break for lunch


------------------------------
 Amane came back from her own lunch
"Okay, it's time. Seiryo shouted from the top of the turret.


"All green. we have linked with the escort ship successfully!"
"Initiating hyperspace jump!"
"Energy output, rising to 120, 130, 135, 140 ..."

The ship began to enter hyperspace as space twisted around it.
The bridge shook with a bang, Seiryo fell into the lower bridge.
"Status report!"Amane yelled after Judging that Captain Seiryo was unable to perform his duties...not that the bridge considered seiryo captain anyways.
"The output of the engine suddenly dropped. The main power reactor is stopping. Currently only sub engines are active!"
"Were falling out of hyperspace!"
"Engineering department operator! Report!"

"Security investigate the situation quickly!There's an Abnormality in engine sector. Please check on it!"Amane ordered.
    ------
 In the lower bridge, Alan's trio talked among themselves
"The engine's internal pressure won't stop decreasing! What's wrong with you, Barry !?"
"It's not me!Alan hasn't been checking his monitor properly!"
"We're going to get fired!"
"if that happens we won't be able to pay debts!"
"Calm down, calm ... ...."
 Alan had been thinking about how to mislead the others in this situation while appeasing Barry - and Cohen who were beginning to panic.

"... ... Wait a second!"They looked at the Seiryo stunning.
"Let's blame it on him! hurry up!"
 
Alan briefly explained the plan to other two, they dragged the collapsed seiryo to their station to make it look like he had stumbled into it

And the next moment, a bridge guard came running into Alan's booth.
A Space Pirate ship had appeared before them in space. They nearly dropped out of warp right on top of them.
"It's a GP ship ... ..."
Kyo komachi said while looking at the training ship from her bridge.

"Do you want us to sink it?"
"No, wait, let's find out what training ship is doing this area."

"Besides, the other day, that Tarrant's guy went off on his own and attacked them, it's not a good idea to fuel his pursuit of pointlessly making enemies."
"Understood, I don't want to be grouped with that Tarrant fellow either"
"However, the route is different from usual ... ... what can you find out about them ............?"
"Their engine output is low they seem to be having engine trouble."

"earning some pocket money doesn't sound to bad, let's raid them while their vulnerable"
 komachi signaled her men started preparing the raid.
"let's introduce them to the reality of the GP, but be careful not to hurt any of the students. "
-------
"The training ship's engines have failed! our link has failed!" The chief operating officer of the Natsuki reported.
"we have to find the training ship immediately!" Hakuren ordered
"Got it! Returning to normal space." with that a large moon like object appeared in front of them.
 
"were experiencing heavy vibration waves !?"
"What about the training ship?"
"It's location can't be determined because long distance communication is impossible due to the vibration waves, we can't even get our own co-ordinates."
"Operate with anticipated figures! can you identify the source of the vibration wave?"
"Unknown ship, rapidly approaching! It's a planetary scale ship!"
"It's the main source of the vibration waves."
"............"

 Hakuren wasn't sure is she should do a super spatial jump. she wanted to catch up with the training ship as soon as possible, but the influence of such vibration waves made it as risky as a random jump. Moreover, in this situation where they didn't even know their starting position, it was equivalent to a suicide act. it was also dangerous to leave such a huge unknown ship unidentified. even if it delayed meeting up with the ship it was necessary to confirm the identity of the huge ship.

"...... Relative speed match with unknown ship! Confirming it's identity. everyone yellow alert!"
"wow……"
 the operators who saw the ship gasped
"Information gathering starting!" an operator said but the ship began to attack them.
 
------------


 In the dining hall of the training ship, the students and teachers were eating together
however their lunch was ruined when the ship started shaking.
"Students, This is Seiryo Tennan your captain speaking ~~. We are currently carrying out emergency repairs in normal space due to engine trouble. everyone to your cabins immediately. that's all"
"Engine trouble?"
"Engine trouble ... ...."
"Engine trouble? ..."
 Like an avalanche, it spread among the students, and all the students and teachers there turned and looked at Seina.
"Oh!" Seina stiffened up in embarrassment
   
----
"Ha ... ... oh wow I seem to have upset everyone.... I wonder if everything is going to be okay?"
 Seina said while eating a mobile meal similar to a hamburger, which was provided in his room.
"It's not a big deal because were not evacuating."
 Kenneth, said as he finally finished eating his portable meal, he threw the garbage into the duster shoot, and laid in bed and stretched out. it was still early in the morning and he felt like dozing off.
"Maybe this part of the training"
"There's a possibility ... but what if it's a pirate attack ...?"
 
the door opened and NB came in.
"NB ... ...! Where were you !?"
"That's not important. check this out!"
NB brushed off Seina and began manipulating the panel on the wall of the cabin.
Then, a split screen of the girls changing room and the shower room was projected.
"Ooooooo!"
Kenneth jumped out of bed and approached the panel.
he pushed NB out of the way of the screen. then Rajau scooted next to Kenneth and squatted in front of the screen
"Is this feed from this ship?"
"Of course, raw and uncensored" NB said
"Wow I feel like such a voyeur"
"Which one should we watch?"
"Hey NB! Stop that!!"
 Seina tried to stop NB, but Kenneth and Rajau stopped him.
"Seina! We are friends, and we haven't even been able to talk to any of the girls students all day. I need this!"
"Yeah Seina. Think about our needs for a change."
 Kenneth and Rajau emphasized with a puppy dog tears filled expression. but they were soon distracted by the image on the screen.
"Oh ─ ─ ─ ─ !!"
 One of the split monitors was enlarged, and a feed of girls in their underwear in the changing was projected on the screen. the girl began taking off her bra. Kenneth and Rajau left Seina and clung to the panel.
Seina looked at NB strangly.
"Hey NB, what's going on with you, is something wrong?"
"Don't be silly. Nothing's wrong with me."
"Seina look! she's about to take it off!" Kenneth pointed to seina as a girl began unhooking her bra. just as she was about to take it off the ship shook and the screen cut out.
"AHH !!" Kenneth and Rajau shouted as if the end of the world had come.

---  
The inside of the bridge an alarm sounded as the ship shook. However, Seiryo, who fell earlier, was desperately clinging to a pipe on the wall.
"What's going on! Report quickly!"
"A ship has attacked us, it seems like a Space Pirate" an operator called out.
Alan's trio talked among themselves
"......... well looks like riding with the zero goddess didn't help at all..."
"Seina's bad luck was stronger ...."
"But maybe it's Ryoko-sama's ship,"
"Oh!!"
the three turned to stare at the information officer.
"The enemy ship data says it belongs to the Da Luma guild, that is Komachi Kyo's destroyer!"
"what……"
"This is bad! our cannons are offline!" Amane said

"fire the cannons! Destroy them all!" Seiryo ordered
"Sir Our cannons are off line, We cant fire until the engines are repaired" the operator reported.
"fire at will Blow them to pieces" Seiryo ordered ignoring him
"sir they are firing at us. I have raised our shields but they aren't very strong. " another officer reported.
"fire at will!"
"Sir our shields are failing. Their sending raider ships our way"
"fire at will blow them all up! shoot shoot shoot ahahaaha!"
 Seiryo, excited at seeing the Space Pirates, had completely forgotten about the engine trouble.
amane's rage started to boil over.
---------------
"Where did the picture go!"
kenneth and rajau where in shock over the image cutting out.
Nb had rolled away and hit a wall. Seina was relieved it had stopped. he looked at NB and wondered why it was acting like a dirty old perv.
(I wonder if this is a part of the software that Airi put in it.)
seina thought when suddenly Nb got back up and the picture came back on
 
"Oh, look it came back!"
"What!"
 Kenneth and Rajau scooted back up to the video screen.
----
 outside raider ships shaped just like a knife plunged through the ships shield and rammed into the sides of the shipping container one after the other.

---
"Who do those people think they are dealing with! FIRE!" Seiryo yelled
Amane bashed him over the head with her fist
"They don't work you idiot!"
-----------
"Hey, Seina's NB! there are no more girls in the changing room, switch the feed to the baths!"
 NB switched the monitor image from the changing room to a feed of the bathing room. However, because there was dense steam, it was heard to make anything out.
"I can't see a thing!"
 Kenneth and Rajau began to breath heavily towards the monitor.
"What are you doing?"
 Seina asked
"... ... maybe if we blow on the screen the fog will clear! "
 
 Seina was a bit disappointed with his two roomates.
"Would you like me to adjust the ventilation program for you?" NB asked
 
"awww yeah... ... the steam has cleared and it's become sunny ... ... ...!"
 A girls student began to get out of the bathtub. Kenneth and Rajau dry swallowed. Seina turned his face from the screen with a puzzled expression.
" Alright!"the moment the female student got up, Seiryo was displayed on the monitor.
"Ahhhhhhh !!" Kenneth and Rajau jumped in shock.
"Students! This ship is being attacked by Space Pirates!stand by in your rooms, and don't go out. that's all! "
 After Seiryo's communication was over, the picture switched to the bath again.
"oh ~ ~ ~ ~"
"wow" But the hull soon shook and all the images on the panel disappeared.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
-------

"Oh yeah! All members prepare to fight! Follow me! Ha ~ ~ ~ Ha ha ha!"
 Seiryo swiftly raised a sword and ran out of the bridge.
"Enemy have broken through blocks 32 and 36 !"
"Close blocks 40 to 48!"
" A second wave of small enemy ships are approaching!"
"Try to stabilize the shields!"
---
"Master, you seem to have a nosebleed"
 NB reached out a hand and wiped his nose with a tissue.

"What's going on !"
 Kenneth hit the panel in frustration.
"this must be bad.... all communication lines are down."
 NB pulled out the plug which he had thrust into the terminal of the panel and he went towards the door.
"Where are you going ...?"
"I am going out to search for a working line.
"Alright! Let's go with him!"
 Kenneth headed for the door following NB. Rajau also stood up to follow it.
"But Kenneth, there's Space Pirates ... ...."
"It's okay This is training! It's just training for if we get invaded by Space Pirates. The're not real."
"Yeah, this has to be a staged event." they followed NB out to the corridor.
"Hey!"
Seina rushed to stop them but they were already headed up the stairs to the center of the ship.
"I guess it can't be helped"
 For a moment Seina thought of going back to the room to wait, but he decided to check the situation outside, to see whether this standby order was training or not.

he climbed the stairs and went out to the outer passage. But there wasn't a flashy battle like Seina thought would be happening.
"...... Rajau...... Kenneth ... ...."
 seina couldn't find them. suddenly seina felt something behind him and instinctively he jumped out of the way to avoid it.
"!"
 he heard a roaring sound like one hears when electricity short-circuits and smelled the smell of burning metal. Seiryo stood with a light sword stabbed right next to seina.
"Well avoided Space Pirate!"
"Space pirate? Seiryo It's me! Seina Yamada!"
"Nice try pirate, but all the students at our school are waiting in their rooms!"
"Ah, yeah, that's right, but ..."
 Seina glanced at the pillar the light coming from the sword, The metal next to him, the exposed metal was burned and discolored.
"Seiryo sensei, that sword ...... It seems pretty powerful"
"Don't worry you will be fine as long as it doesn't hit your head."
"But weren't you aiming at my head?"
" Stop with these pointless questions pirate scum!" When Seiryo swung the light sword again. Seina ran away.
-----


In an aisle with no light NB was accessing a terminal from a panel. However, there were only unmanned passages on the monitor.
"What are you doing, there's no girls one on these camera's."
 Kenneth beat NB in ​​a frustrated manner.

"oh, look there's someone."
 Rajau pointed. There was a small figure on the monitor
"It's dark ... I can't make it out that well ... Oh, it's Seina! why is he running?"
"It seems master is being followed."
"oh your right! but by who ... ..." 
"... ... is... that.... Seiryo sensei?"
"Looks like it"
"is he chasing Seina with a sword?"
"Looks like it"
"What do he do?"
----------


" Deputy Captain Amane! ... Seiryo Captain is following someone... ..."
 The operator who was monitoring the ship was puzzled as he showed Amane the feed.
"Ha ha ha! IS HE TRYING TO FIGHT THEM ALL HIMSELF, how far will he go? "
 the screen came to show Seina being chased.
"Seiryo! you idiot! What do you think you're doing ... ............"
 Amane seemed pissed off as she wagged her fist at the screen.
While it was true that pirates were invading, there was no need to physically go after them.
"we understand, please go! we will contact you if your judgment is needed." the operator said. Amane jumped up and ran off the bridge.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daruma_doll

i know they translated it as the da luma in the dub.... but it's Daruma


------------
"were getting a report from the Daruma! the Big Daruma and the Juraian ship have encountered each other." an officer aboard komachi's ship informed her
"Juraian ship !? Is it a royal ship?"
"No, it's a normal ship. there is a high possibility that it's an escort ship. Perhaps it was following this training ship, I wonder if their engines failed and they got stranded ... "
"....so it's not a Juraian warship."
 Komachi who confirmed that it was not a royal ship breathed a sigh of relief.
"Should we destroy this ship and go help the Daruma? "
"Help? The big daruma hasn't destroyed the escort ship yet on it's own?"
"Well.... It's pretty fast ...... it's hard to even see on the feed they are sending us. "
"oh!? ... .......... this is the first time I've ever seen something like that... ... this is probably a Juraian reconnaissance ship."Komachi looked at the video feed of the giant moon sized ship with a puzzled expression.
"It's almost as annoying as a royal ship."
"Calm down! Even if it's a nuisance there's no way it could take down the big Daruma."
"Alright! Don't let the SOS signal transmitted by the training ship get to the Juraian ship."
"Are you sure? What if it destroys the Big Daruma."
"Idiot! I told you that the Juraian ship is just a reconnaissance ship! It's only use is to gather information, there is no reason it would possibly be able to do that! Hurry and hail the Big Daruma so we can tell them to change course."
their ship shook as they rammed through the shield of the training ship.
------------
"Hakuren-sama! were getting a distress signal from the training ship!"
 an operator screamed as the bridge of the Natsuki shook
"What's going on!?"\
"I Can't tell the signal is feint, it's being blocked they must want us to stay away from them.
They realized the pirates were planning to destroy the training ship after plundering it
"Our mission is to escort the training ship."
"But that planet scale is probably ...."
The captain realized that the planet scale was the Big Daruma. if they let it out of their sight it would be impossible to recapture.
"Would you give up the opportunity to save the student's lives?"
That was the problem they faced
"Don't worry about the ship it's highly likely with Seina Yamada's abilities we'll encounter it again! just hurry and let's save the training ship!"
"Your right! Operator, Prepare to jump to the co-ordinates from the distress signal and send word to the Mikagami !"the commander ordered.
-------
Seina was chased by Seiryo into a cargo room full of steel containers
"Ha ha ha! Prepare to die!"
"aaaah!"
seina ran. he looked back and saw seiryo preparing to attack with his sword.
"Hehe ... ... ... as a teacher it pleases me to know you can handle being attacked with a sword."
"If you recognize me why are you chasing me ..."
"Originally, I was supposed to handle your Bio-Enhancement, it's my duty to confirm the results."
 Seiryo slashed down but missed. he stopped attacking.
"haha I'm just enthusiastic about my duties ... but I think I've already confirmed enough ... Space Pirates are attacking the ship, aren't they?"
"uh.... yes.... hey what's that sound ..."
with a tremendous roaring sound, an assault boat broke through the wall.
--------

"why did they all go back to their rooms?"
 Kenneth and Rajau stared at the monitor with NB. all the female students seemed to have returned to their own rooms, and no one was to be seen anywhere they looked.
"are there no surveillance cameras in the rooms?"
"That's pointless, what would they even be doing in their rooms that was worth watching?"
"your right, i guess we should just go back to our rooms until this drill is over ... .........."
something that felt like a hard metal pipe was suddenly pressed into the back of Rajau's head
"What's wrong?"Kenneth, suspicious of Rajau's lack of response, turned away from the monitor to check on him.
"Freeze!"Before they knew it Kenneth and Rajau there held up by two Space Pirates with guns.
"Wait... these are just students"
"In a place like this? what are they doing here?"
"Yeah!What are you doing here?"
 The Space Pirates turned their guns to Kenneth and Rajau.
"we're just using our NB to peep using the camera's ... ...."
"I've never heard of a student with NB."
"Huh!"
the pirates tried to pull the trigger on the gun but their bodies were suddenly thrown violently sideways.
" are you all right?"
"……eh?"
 Kenneth looked in the direction of the voice and noticed Amane standing covered in a guardian shield.
"Sensei!" Kenneth and Rajau cried, they rushed to hug Amane. It was true that the two were happy to no longer be held at gunpoint. but they also really just wanted an excuse to touch Amane's chest but her guardian repelled them.
"Do you understand now why you should follow orders?"
"... .... Yes,"
"alright then... I am going to go save Seina, the passage to residential block is safe so hurry!"
as amane said that the walls shot out hoses that shot out containment gel they enveloped the space pirates. Kenneth and rajau and started heading back
"This is all NB's fault ......"
"Wait... where is NB."
"What!! ... ... Where did it go? that jerk didn't even try to defend us!"
"No time to look for him, let's hurry back our safety is more important ."
"Yeah, your right."Kenneth glanced at the cured containment gel before he began running full speed towards the residential block to escape from the scene.
------
"what's going on!?"
Seina was puzzled by the shock of the ship ramming into the wall.
Seiryo had been flung into a wall Seina rushed to help him.
"Seiryo sensei ... Are you OK?"
the assaulting ship widened and opened.
"What do we do? we have to get out of here .... Aaah!"
 Suddenly Seina fell backwards. Seiryo had jumped up knocking him over
"Come out Space pirate scum!"
 Seiryo rushed over to the assault boat and directed his light sword towards the entrance
He heard footsteps and out came large woman. it was Komachi Kyo.
"Huh! What! a woman?"
 Komachi heard seiryo's ignorant tone and looked him up and down with a strange look
"What, are you doing here? who are you?"
Seiryo gazed at Komachi strangely. However, it was for different reasons than Komachi. He got a nosebleed.
 It was a strange sight for komachi to witness. Of course, this was because Komachi, was a big giant and very manly looking woman, she knew that she was not the type of woman who normally excited a man. That's why she looked at him so strangely. But from his clothes and the streak on the wall, she quickly understood the situation that was going on before she arrived.
"My name is Komachi · Kyou. What's your name?"
She pulled out the handle of a light sword from her bosom
"I would never waste my name on a strange Space Pirate like you, maybe your doctor will tell you when I send you to him."
"The Strange one is you! How about you wipe that nose bleed of yours."
"What? oh!"
 Seiryo hurriedly wiped his nosebleed and quickly groomed himself before relighting his light sword.
(I see ... ... That is an idiot is from Tennan family, that stance is unmistakable ............ Hmm!)
the air between the two changed completely and they began to face off.
"What!"
"Oh!" Koichi and Seiryo crossed swords.
The moment the two light swords hit, the output rose and the blade part became visible. the sensor misunderstood the rise in the power of the light sword as a fire or energy leakage accident and it sent out an ejection port similar to a snake that launched a bubble gel used for insulation at the two light swords.
"Oh!"
 Despite being blown off coarse by the impact of bubble gel landing, Seiryo and Komachi quickly resumed their face off.
"What is this...? .......... my hands !?"
 The hands of two were sealed together in gel with their light sword. Komachi and Seiryo began to desperately avoid the bubble gel which was still being sprayed at them. A GP member
and a Space pirate ─ ─ Although they were enemies, the two avoided the bubble gel with stunning cooperation.
"Why, ... oh! It's responding to the energy of the light sword !"
 Because Seiryo and Komachi knew where the sensor was aiming, it was relatively easy to avoid But for Seina was not.
"aaaaaah!"
some of the gel missed seiryo and almost hit seina
"Ha ha ha!You'll need to be quicker then that if you want to be in the GP!"
"He's just a student don't be stupid!
 For a moment, the collaboration between the two was disturbed, Seiryo took a direct hit from the gel.with seiryo's mobility impaired komachi's mobility fell as well. soon Komachi was stuck to the floor.
Seiryo and Komachi desperately struggled to get away, but the rubberized gel was resistant to any amount of human force.
Seiryo took out a laser knife.
"You idiot!"
 But before Komachi could say more... Pew pew! Seiryo was struck by gel and he was able to move only his face.
"You know what that thing is reacting to! You're so stupid!"
"What do you mean, no I'm not you are!"

A new sensor began to respond, a large outlet was opened on the ceiling and a large amount of gel for disaster prevention began to be release. It was meant to protect the shipment by filling the warehouse in case of theft or accident. The flowing gel increased its quantity steadily as it spread on the floor.
"What, what is this?"
"Keep silent!"
 Komachi closed Seiryo's mouth and contacted the bridge.
"Hey, the repair gel is malfunctioning. Can you control it from over there? "
"Just a moment please……"
"AAIEEEEEE! "
 And then a small scream came in from the bridge.
"Hey, what is it !?"
"It's no big deal! It seems that there's a control over here, but something seems to have hijacked it ...... I will do something about it soon, please wait a while. "
"Are you being hijacked?" "
 In a passage several blocks ahead of Komachi, NB was using the training ships's systems to mess with the space pirate's ship's systems
    × × ×
"I succeeded in accessing the Space Pirate ship, and have succeeded in finding many women ...... " some monitors were launched and there was a woman changing in Komachi's ship. And one after another, the girls' toilets and the locker rooms were projected.
suddenly a hand was placed on top of NB who was distracted by the feed. He was lifted up violently

"Ahhh stop your going to break me ~ ~"
"What are you doing here!?" Amane glared at NB her blood vessels throbbed in her temple.
"Ah ...... Amane! I'm just surveying the pirates ... ...."
"Where is Seina?"
"uhm ... ... I lost him ..."
"Find him!"
-----

The gel discharge increased its quantity and it was already up to seiryo's neck.
"... ... If this doesn't stop we're going to drown."
"What about your rescue team?"
"They can't do anything about it yet!"
suddenly she got a message.
"The juraian ship has arived!
"It's here already?" that was quick ............ we need to leave. "
"What are you talking about !?"
"None of your business, be quiet!"
 Komachi covered seiryo's mouth with her hands
"We don't have time to keep trying to hack the systems, were sending a rescue team! "
"OK! hurry! I'm begging you"
 Komachi cut communications and sighed a small sigh as she uncovered seiryo's mouth.
Seiryo, who had been unable to breath had passed out.
"... oh ...... That reminds me, isn't there someone else in here with us?"
 Komachi looked around to find Seina stuck to the wall.
she noticed his clothes where that of a student.
"Hey, Hey! you there! Are you listening?"
 Komachi shouted as she hit seiryo's unconscious head
"Shut up! stop hitting me!"
"Hey, that boy ... is he a student?"
"hmmpf ...... yes,one of our problem recruits, he's delusional if the thinks he's ever going to be a gp member of my caliber."
 Komachi who heard what Seiryo said turned pale.
"You... you idiot! ... ... Why would you drag a student into battle !?"
The two broke into an argument
 Seina, who was stuck to the wall took out a pocket knife with his free hand. he stabbed the gel with his knife and cut the gel.
 Komachi noticed Seina getting out of the gel.
"Wow !? that's one smart cadet."
"Mr. master, can you hear me?" "
"NB? Where are you ?"
 Seina spoke to NB on a monitor, but amane kicked him off
"Seina, where are you? are you safe? "
"Ah, Amane-sensei ... I'm fine, but this strange gel is filling up the room"
"I know. NB can't stop it from here but you can. Quick NB explain! "
"Master there should be a latter nearby. there is a panel there you can reach by climbing it. "
 Seina moved as instructed by NB. he opened the panel
"Please enter it by punching in this numerical value ."
"roger that!"
 "Good! it's set to manual now, there should be a screwdriver like crank turn it to control the gel."
Seina started turning it.
with every turn the flow of the gel weakened until it stopped completely.
"Alright! it's stopped"
"It's amazing that such a smart cadet has been raised by this idiot."
 Komachi said hitting Seiryo over the head, he went unconscious.
"Bravo cadet, Nice work."
"Oh, uh... thanks."
 GAGON! another one of komachi's raider ships broke through the wall again, 14 pirates came out of it

"Ms. Komachi, are you safe?"
 the pirates ran to her and began to investigate the gel.

seina went to hide but a large swarm of voyeur camera feeds popped up around him because of NB
"No NB not here!"
"There is an enemy behind that container!"
a Space Pirate got out in front of Komachi, he started firing at the container seina was behind
"Stop you idiots!"
the Crime prevention gel was stopped, but the bubble gel launcher which restrained Seina was still in operation. the Bubble gel was ejected towards the guns of the Space Pirates.
"aah!"
 In an instant, Gel hit two of the guns.

"Discard your guns!"
 Komachi ordered, the pirates threw their guns away quickly.
The thrown guns were enveloped in a mass of gel in the blink of an eye.
"It's overreacting to energy outputs, don't use energy swords for cutting the gel!"
"Yes mam!"
The pirates stared at seina
"He's just a student, you can leave him alone! Use an emergency ax to get us out of here!"
"Yes, one moment!"
 the pirates left a guard and and ran to the assault ship.
----

"Tell me where he is we have to get to him" amane said hitting NB over and over like a punching bag
"stop! You'll break me!"
"I'll fix you when we get home! Just do it!"
amane suddenly got a call from an operator
" Deputy Captain Amane. the escort ship has arrived, the Pirates are leaving. "
"alright!"
------


"damn it ~ ~ Why is this gel so hard to cut!"
the pirates grumbled while trying to cut komachi out of the gel

 Seina hid from the space pirates from behind the container.
"That gel, you have to cut through it slowly,"
"What? ............ oh, it's working."
 When he pulled the blade of the ax through it slowly, the blade easily cut through the gel
"Alright! Hurry up... but slowly."
"What about that guy attached to you?"
"We don't have time. Bring him with us.
An energy torch from a GP rescue team began to cut through the bulkhead on the entrance to the room. but it was soon sealed in gel.


"Ha ha ha ha ha ha, looks like we have just enough time to escape."
 However, after a few minutes the cutting resumed by a different method that didn't trigger the gel.
"Your a smart student. What is your name?"
 Komachi shouted at Seina.
"Oh,uhm Its Seina... Seina Yamada "
komachi was astonished.
"Oh, so you're the infamous Seina... ...."
"Yes, that's me..."

"Seina Yamada. I am grateful you saved my life. as a thank you, let me give you some advice. beware the space pirate named Tarrant Shank."
 with that they cut a block with komachi and seiryo out of the gel and boarded their ship and left.
"Tarrant? ......... huh.."
 the moment the ship pulled out of the wall Gel went to seal it up.

a few seconds later Amane broke through the wall and came in.
"Seina, are you hurt?"
"Amane-sensei, Mr.Tennan got captured."
 Seina pointed at the hole where the assault boat had opened.
"Wow! Really? that's great!"
 Amane was pleased until she noticed Seina 's puzzled look .
"oh ~ ~ ~ uh I mean ... ... ... ... oh no ... too bad we can't do anything about it ... drat! oh Those awful Space Pirates"
